Over the years (32 years to be exact) I have had a sixth player run onto the court illegally, because he/she thought that they were supposed to be in the game. Everytime this has happened, my partner(s) and I have come to the conclusion that charging two technical fouls is overkill. If the official sees the player illegally enter the court, then this is the technical foul that should be charged. If the official does not see that player illegally enter the court but sees six players on the court, then charge the team with a technical foul for too many players. But it has been my belief and the opinion of many of my friends that two technical fouls are overkill.

In any normal situation, i would not consider giving 4 FTs for illegal substitution, but, in this situation, due to the nature of the act, i would penalize this to the full extent of my power, as this is a deliberate act, not just a mistake. Although someones personal opinion is that 6 FTs would be overkill, nowhere in the rulebook does it say this. Now, i'm just trying to remeber who said that you would shoot 6 FTs for someone lifting someone else up to slam dunk the ball.

I do not know about most technical fouls, but I have on situation that sticks out for me:
A number of years ago in the Regionals of the Ohio Games (Olympics style state games) in a boys 16U game: Team A is getting their clocks cleaned when A1 steals the ball. A2 runs down the court ahead of him and (I am not lying) gets down on his hands and knees and lets A1 jump off his back and then A1 dunks the ball. I immediately whistled the ball dead and T'ed A1 and A2 for violating NFHS R10-S3-A8e, and I T'ed A1 for violating NFHS R10-S3-A5. The second T on A1 was for dunking a dead ball and the false multiple T's were for climbing or or lifting a teammate to secure a greater height. Three T's for the price of one, it does not get any better than that.
